Follow “E A G L E S” Every Training Session

/in /by

To keep training COVID-19 safe remember to follow E A G L E S.

Dear Perthshire Rugby players, parents and coaches,

We have been back training on the North Inch for 12 weeks under the new COVID-19 rules. It has been great to see so many keen players having fun and taking part in a COVID-19 safe manner, following the procedures & guidance in place since August. However, “complacency is the enemy of success” so please, as the virus is spreading again, we must keep up the good work.

It has been brought to my attention there have recently been some lapses, so to keep us right here are the EAGLES rules:

  • EVERY player must pre-book for training and arrive on time.
  • AVOID training if you or anyone in your household has symptoms or you have been told to self-isolate.
  • GO straight to your pitch for Check in on the App.
  • LEAVE immediately after Check-out from training, exit the pitch, no congregating and keep 2m distance from other households.
  • EACH child may only have 1 parent down to watch training who MUST stay off the pitch and keep 2m distance from all other parents.
  • SOCIAL distancing of 2m when not taking part in training.

Thank you for your co-operation and compliance with EAGLES. We can only continue if we create a safe environment for training. Do not get upset if someone else from the Club reminds you of EAGLES, we are in this together and ultimately we must keep to these rules to allow training to continue safely.

Yours sincerely,

Ewan C MacKessack-Leitch
Club Captain and COVID-19 Safety Co-ordinator | Perthshire Rugby

For a more in-depth account of the COVID-19 policies & procedures a full range of resources, risk assessments and protocols (aimed at the Team Leads but feel free to browse) are available on the COVID-19 page.

Perthshire Gather Online to Look Back over 2019-20 Season

(The evening condensed into only 12 minutes!)

Congratulations to the awards winners and thank you to all who took part!

The evening Friday 29th May saw the Perthshire family dress up smartly and come together online via Zoom for the Annual Awards Night. The COVID-19 pandemic stopped the Club meeting up as normal but all assembled were determined to enjoy the celebration of the past season.

Before the event kicked-off, Jeremy Wares had led the online Cook Along Live where many of the Perthshire members, following his instructions, cooked a 3 course meal to enjoy prior to the main event. The award for best Tarte Tatin went to Dave Lewis, wooden spoon winner Andy Cummins was not impressed.

At 7:30pm Club Captain Ewan “MacKer” MacKessack-Leitch, who compered the evening, welcomed the over 80 households who had signed in to the Zoom call. After a quick reminder of the nominations and a game of “heads & tails,” that sort of worked, the Club Captain’s Toast to Perthshire was played out.

Then it was time to start the awards. First up Arran Whittle won Colt’s Player of the Year for this ever-improving form which also saw him debut in the 2XV this season. Following that James Mair retained the Young Player of the Year award which he won last year, as he again improved stepping up to make the No. 8 shirt his own. Another person retaining their title from last year was Alasdair Nisbet who collected the Men’s Most Improved Player as he becomes a real force to be reckoned with in the front row.

After a year of phenomenal efforts and encouragements on & off the pitch Chris Wallace was rewarded with the 2XV Player of the Year trophy. James Mair was then back in the spotlight, as he saw off the competition to win the vote to be Men’s Players’ Player of the Year.

New awards this year were presented to the Women’s Section and Lynn Robertson picked up the Women’s Most Improved Player in her debut season where she has gained in confidence & ability on the pitch. The Women’s Players’ Player of the Year was a tightly contested affair, but the votes fell in favour of Lynne Stewart who has been an inspiration to many of her fellow teammates.

The moment for the big awards of the night arrived. The P6s won Mini Team of the Year in recognition of the amazing effort to win the Land Rover Rugby Tour 2020 Festival at Cardiff Arms Park. Sarah Hogwood was crowned Women’s Player of the Year and Mathew “Biebs” Rae won 1XV Player of the Year; both played on the front foot all season and led by example to their teammates and justly deserved the awards. Team of the Year went to the U16s for their big achievement finishing 2nd in the Shogun Conference and the representative honours for Caledonia, Glasgow Warriors & Scotland some of their players achieved.

Finally, following a difficult year for the Club both on & off the pitch, the Club Person of the Year was awarded to John McLaughlin. As Club President he has been there throughout: supporting the 1XV on match days when results have been poor, working behind the scenes and entertaining sponsors in the Clubhouse, as well as ably helping the Club following the sad losses of both Granny G and Adam Pattinson.

A Boat Race time trial was held and you’ll have to watch the highlights video (top of the page) to find out who won!
